Home inventory mapping for real rooms and real storage

Map your storage space so your inventory finally makes sense

Containd is a home inventory app for boxes, shelves, drawers, and collections. Instead of relying only on long lists, you can place containers and items on a visual canvas that matches your real space.

If photo based list entries still feel disconnected from where things actually live, floor plan mapping closes that gap. You see your space, your grouped containers, and your items in one view.

Why this is different from list-only inventory

Lists tell you what. Mapping also shows you where.

Lists are useful for search, but they often miss physical context. Mapping helps you understand storage at a glance: room zones, grouped containers, and item placement.

Find things with less guesswork

Open the mapped area, then the right container, instead of scanning a long list and guessing what is nearby.

Keep grouped items readable

Office supplies, hobby kits, spare parts, or seasonal items stay grouped visually so retrieval is faster later.

Reorganize without losing clarity

As your storage changes, the visual map stays easier to browse than renamed labels and scattered list entries.

How the mapping workflow works

Create context first, then place containers and items

1. Set up a room background

Create a simple map for the room, shelf area, or storage zone so your inventory has a clear visual context.

2. Place containers where they live

Add boxes, drawers, or shelves in the mapped area to mirror the real layout you walk through at home.

3. Add and group items

Create items from photos and place them into the mapped containers so you can browse and retrieve faster.

One canvas, different tasks

Switch between editing, browsing, and map setup

In day-to-day use, you can switch between creating and moving inventory, browsing without accidental edits, and refining your map background. This keeps setup and retrieval in one place instead of splitting your workflow across different tools.

Use search when you know the name, use the map when you need context.

Optional shortcut

QR labels are a quick bridge to the right mapped container

Mapping is the core value. QR labels are the shortcut: scan a box and jump straight to its mapped view.
